Explanations to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. 

The dark spots on Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 
5, represent symptoms of various diseases. 
These symptoms are plainly noticeable at 
the various points shown by the dark spots, 
either by pains or aches, or by a sensitive- 
ness upon pressure. Some of these symp- 
toms or dark spots are immediately over 
the seat of the disease, while others are re- 
flex or transferred pains and appear on por- 
tions of the body quite distant from those 
affected by disease. 

The numbers at the end of each line run- 
ning out from the dark spots refer to cor- 
responding numbers at the top on left hand 
side of next page, where it tells what dis- 
eased member or organ is producing the 
symptom, and at the same time giving the 
number of the treatment or prescription to 
be used to remove or cure the trouble. 

The illustrations are pen drawings by the 
author taken from scientific medical works, 
and the treatments or prescriptions from 
medical works and papers read before medi- 
cal societies by such men as Wood, Pepper, 
DaCosta, Niemeyer, Dujordin, Beaumetz, 
Loomis, R. de Santos, Rousseau, Late J. 
Milner Fothergill, Sajous, Cohen, Kaposi, 
Sir Morrell Mackenzie, Rundscheau, Brauns, 
Holland, Huchard, Meredith, Climer, Dela- 
field, Hebbing, Hatfield, Blackwood, Chau- 
vins, Palmer, Fraentzel, Besnier, Pregadfco, 
Brinton, Cohen, Plumert, Arch Dixon, 
Comez de La Maca, Cueneau de Mussy, 
Tal. Donath, Monin, Verrier, Curryer, Par- 
vin, Thomas, Delapert and many others 
who are specialists and professors in medi- 
cal colleges in this and foreign countries. 

While most of the prescriptions and treat- 
ments are not credited to any one, they are 
fine and are used by such men as are above 
named, and when used as formulated and 
prescribed will not be found wanting. 

The symptoms as shown in illustrations 
are for diseases of both sexes, except those 
which pertain to diseases of the genital or- 
gans of women, and the treatments are ap- 
plicable to both with perhaps a slight varia- 
tion in size of dose to suit age, sex and con- 
stitution of the patient.

Hiccough. 

Pour a little water down the patient's 
throat ; whlie he is drinking the water he

Another : 

The successful treatment of hiccough is 
oftentimes difficult and uncertain ; but Sir 
Morrell Mackenzie tells us that by getting 
the patient to take a pinch of snuff or pep- 
per, or by tickling the mucous membrane of 
the nose, the immediate result will be a par- 
oxysm of sneezing, after which the patient 
sinks quickly back to sleep breathing like a 
new-born infant.

Diseased Ovaries and Tubes. 

Most cases of ovarian trouble are clue to 
displacements or falling of these organs. 
The most prominent symptom is pain upon 
the least jolt or upon walking. This con- 
dition is remedied by simply replacing and 
packing cotton under them around the womb, 
holding them in position until relieved of the 
congested state which they are in. This 
mode of treatment, when properly done, 
only requires from two to four weeks to 
cure the most stubborn cases. The cotton 
should be renewed once daily, and copious 
warm water injections into vagina should 
be made after each removal of the cotton. 

Ovary Ache does not necessarily mean 
ovarian disease any more than headache 
means brain disease, but symptoms 18 and 
19 in Fig. 2, indicate disease or displace- 
ments of these organs.

Gonorrhoea. 

Gonorrhoea in the female is an intense in- 
flammation of the vagina. 

Rest and absolute cleanliness are two fac- 
tors essential to the proper treatment of 
Gonorrhoea. No collection of pus about the 
vulva should be allowed. The parts should 
be constantly washed with a mild solution 
of Carbolic Acid, twenty drops of the acid 
to eight ounces of water. Cleanliness within 
the vagina is as necessary as it is without. 
Vaginal injections of water, as hot as can be 
borne, should be made three or four times 
daily. The nozzle of the syringe should be 
carried well up into the vagina, and gently 
shifted from side to side while the injections 
are being made, to let the water come in 
contact with all parts of the vagina. 

Immediately after each warm-water in- 
jection, a medicated wash should be used. 
The following will answer : 

R. Zinc Sulphate 2 ounces 

Water . . 6 ounces 

M. Sig. — One teaspoonful to be added to each 
quart of water. 

The bowels should be kept in a soluble 
condition, by the following preparation : 

R. Magnesium Sulph 2 ounces 

Ferri Sulph 16 grains 

Acid Sulphuric Dil i drachm 

Aqua? Destillat i pint 

M. Sig. — Two tablespoonfuls, internally, in one- 
half tumbler of cold water, every morning

Dr. A. Wilford Hall's Great Remedy. 
A Remedy for either Sex : 

Dr. Hall, of New York, for the past few 
years, has been making a mint of money by 
imparting to individuals, at the rate of $4.00 
per head, a secret method of curing disease, 
which he claims to have discovered. It is 
said that last year he did the largest money- 
order business at the New York Postoffice. 
Now all there is to the great secret is the 
simple flushing of the colon by rectal injec- 
tions with hot water. It affords immediate 
relief in all cases of stomach and bowel 
trouble, and by adding a little salt to the 
water, will, in most cases, effect a cure in 
Genuine Asiatic Cholera. Used before hand, 
in time of danger, it would be an absolute 
safeguard. It amounts to a sort of house- 
cleaning and renovating process for the 
physical system, and when followed up for 
a sufficient length of time, thoroughly 
purges, cleanses and rejuvenates the whole 
body. 

It is a specific for kidney, liver and lung 
trouble, relieving those organs of accumu- 
lated effete matter and congestion. It 
cleanses and beautifies the skin, and for this 
purpose is of great value to ladies who de- 
sire a clear complexion. It affords relief 
and cure to almost all female disorders. The 
water should be as hot as can be borne com- 
fortably, and should be used in abundance — 
all that can be taken, from a half gallon to 
a gallon, according to the size of the person. 
In cases of illness, it should be used at once, 
and the patient should then rest in bed for 
some hours. 

When used for precautionary purposes, or 
for the general health, it should be injected 
into the rectum every third or fourth night, 
just before retiring. A common rubber bulb 
syringe procured at any drug store for 75 
cts. or $1.00 will answer the purpose. Salt, 
Capsicum, Slippery Elm, Lobelia and other 
things may be used with advantage in the 
water in cases where any such remedies are 
indicated by such conditions. A tea made 
of ground flax-seed and strained before 
using, would be good in all cases. The same 
treatment would be excellent for children, 
but amount of water should be in proportion 
to size and age of child. 



GENITAL ORGANS OF WOMEN. 




This engraving represents the genital organs of women as they appear when in their normal or proper 
positions. 58, Large intestine or colon ; 59, Bladder; 60, Pubic bone; 61 , Urethra or passage through which the 
urine is expelled ; 62, Vagina ; 63, Labi or lip, a part of the vulva, and when inflamed the disorder receives 
the name of vulvitis, and when affected by intense itching the disorder receives the name of pruritus vulva ; 
64, Blood vessel; 65, Marrow of backbone; 66, Spinal column or backbone; 67, Body of womb; 68, 
Neck of womb ; 69, Rectum, at which place piles or hemorrhoids, anal fissures and contractions of sphincter 
ani muscles occur ; 70, Perineum or the parts between the rectum and vagina, which sometimes rupture 
during childbirth. Application of cloths wrung from hot water will prevent the accident. 

The line which is drawn across the womb, between lines 67 and 68, is the dividing line between the 
neck and body of the womb, which place receives the name of internal os. 

In displacements or falling of the womb, it may drop down and remain in a perpendicular position; but 
as a rule it does not; it either falls forward or backwards, and in some individuals it doubles up on itself. 
When the latter condition occurs, the bend is usually at the internal os, or where the dark line crosses the 
womb. This bend or curvature in some cases is so sharp or short that it closes the cavity of the womb at 
that point, and by this means creates an obstruction to the menstrual flow, which gives rise to the distressing 
symptom known as dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation. A partial closure at the mouth of the womb also 
will produce the symptom. If there is any one diseased condition of the womb which needs quick attention 
more than others, it is that condition which produces painful menstruation. Its tendency always is to grow 
worse instead of better, and in such cases internal medication is worse than useless, as it will only ruin the 
stomach and be of no benefit in relieving pain at the menstrual periods. Morphine will ease the pain, but 
the effects are such that the patient is less able to bear the next one. 

There are other distressing symptoms produced by falling of the womb. If it tips forward and rests 
upon the bladder and urethra, it causes irritation in these organs. If it tips backward and rests upon the 
rectum, it affects that organ, causes constipation and sometimes piles, and at the same time bearing down, 
heavy, dragging pains will be present. 



DISEASES OF WOMB AND HOW TREATED. 



27 




Fig. 7. 

This engraving represents a woman in the act of being treated for diseases of the womb. 
71 is the womb, and 72 is a uterine (womb) probe, or the instrument by which the medicine 
is applied to the diseased mucous membrane or lining membrane of the womb. 

The end of the probe which is passed into the womb, as shown in engraving, is first 
wrapped with absorbent cotton and soaked with the solution which is to be used. 

The medicine is applied to the inner surface or mucous membrane for the purpose of 
destroying the diseased tissue, which at first is in a raw state, and the slightest touch will 
produce hemorrhage. 

The leucorrheal discharge (whites), with which so many ladies are afflicted, is the con- 
tinually sloughing off of the diseased mucous membrane or inner coating of the womb. 

The applications to the mucous membrane should be made weekly, and in some cases 
two would be better, each alternate application being the nature of an antiseptic dressing. 
At the same time, copious warm water injections should be made once or twice daily by the 
patient herself. 

As to the time required to effect cures, this will vary considerably in the different indi- 
viduals ; some require much longer time than others. An ordinary case under treatment of 
a specialist of ability may be cured in from three to four months. While the same cases 
under treatment of general practitioners, never. This may seem like putting it pretty strong 
in regard to general practitioners, but nevertheless it will hold good in ninety-nine cases out 
of every hundred. There is no other class of sufferers in existence who are receiving such 
little benefit, and none who are so outrageously humbugged by general practitioners as are 
those who seek relief at their hands for this class of ailments. 

One might suppose from the above engraving that the person of the patient would be 
exposed while being treated ; such, however, is not the case, and is never necessary except 
in cases where certain external surgical operations are made necessary — such as the removal 
of external tumors, abscesses, repairing lacerations, etc., otherwise the least exposure would 
be uncalled for and ungentlemanly.

DISEASES OF CHILDREN. 



Chronic Constipation of Long Standing-. 



Habitual constipation is produced by va- 
rious causes. It may be brought about by 
the peculiar nature of the diet; a deficiency 
or faulty composition of intestinal secre- 
tions ; diseased intestinal glands ; impaired 
nervous influences, or exposure to certain 
poisons. It may occur from a negligence 
to attend to the calls of nature, or from 
sedentary habits ; or it may be joined to 
affections of the liver or stomach ; or it may 
be caused by diseases of the rectum, as that 
of hemorrhoids or piles, anal fissures, con- 
traction of the sphincter ani muscles ; or it 
may, in women, result from falling of the 
womb when it rests upon the rectum. The 
cases of constipation are numerous, but 
those which are apt to be overlooked by the 
patient and even the physicians, are the ones 
which are caused by diseases of the rectum, 
and, in women, a displaced womb resting 
upon that organ. 

The safest and best mode of treatment 
for constipation, when due to rectal trouble, 
is by gradual dilatation of the rectum. This 
is accomplished by means of a rectal dilator, 
which is placed in the rectum and opened 
as far as the patient can stand comfortably. 
These dilatations are kept up by dilating 
once each or alternate day for several week's 
or until cured. This method of treatment 
not only heals piles, anal fissures, but it re- 
moves the obstruction to a movement of the 
bowels. 

When the difficulty is that of a displaced 
womb resting upon the rectum, the womb 
must be replaced and kept off of the rec- 
tum. This may require several months' 
uterine treatment, and the services of a 
specialist in this class of ailment, while that 
produced by a diseased rectum may be 
accomplished by any general practitioner 
who has the proper instruments to do the 
dilating. 

Medication by stomach in these cases 
will never give more than temporary relief, 
and in some cases not even that. In most 
cases its tendency is to aggravate the trouble 
by further impairing the function of the 
digestive organs. The proper treatment of 
constipation, as is the case in all other ail- 
ments, is to treat the disease and not the 
symptoms. Remove the cause and nature 
will regulate the balance. 

In constipation, the moisture which should 



remain in the intestine to lubricate the walls 
and soften the contents, is reabsorbed by 
the system, and carried through the portal 
vein to the liver ; and notwithstanding this 
organ is a great purifier, the constant dump- 
ing of all this filth into the liver demands 
of it a greater work than it can do. Hence 
it becomes sluggish, which at once inter- 
feres with digestion, blood becomes impov- 
erished and loaded with bile, which is 
thrown to the surface and causes the com- 
plexion to become sallow, and in some cases 
spells of severe headache and in others what 
is known as sick headache. Persons may 
remain in this condition for years without 
knowing or even suspecting the cause. In 
women, displacements of the womb when 
resting upon the rectum will produce the 
same results.
